Hi guys
Due to a lousy main dealerstealer, I'm having problems sourcing the crankshaft oil seal on the rear of the sump. Apparently it doesnt exist, even though its on the sump off the g wagen engine (and the sump of the donor 280ce engine, too).
Can anyone help?
Thanks
PS have i heard something before about the availability of the EPC to non-trade persons like myself?

You can find the way of buying an EPC Compact for the GWagen directly from Mercedes here: http://www.gwoa.co.uk/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=364

You should seriously threaten those idiots with complaining to MBUK and MB Germany for their snobish behaviour. I don't know the VIN of your G, but you could make a printout of the attached and take them to the stealership so that they are caught red-handed in their stupidity...
